Restaurants near South Venice

“Alright so I’ve worked in this area 22 years. My buddy of mine comes here all the time last 18 years so I decided to finally stop by for a beer. The spot is great!! The vibe is cool. There’s a ton of things to do. So saying that. I am not a smoker. Cant stand it honestly but I deal with it on a night out. So I’ll get into that… I read a comment were owner said he keeps it for the people who’s kept him open and I can definitely respect that. But what about all new money can bring in if couldn’t smoke. This is 2025. Nowhere allows smoking anymore. Maybe build a nice tiki in the back? They’ll bring their drinks and have a smoke. Tbh is area is building like crazy and this only place that offers what it does. Can make best of both worlds. I enjoyed my time here. But I’ll have to be in mood to deal with it.”

The ice cream, cotton candy and snow cones were great. We visited both days of our vacation in May. Very cute and clean place!! Highly recommended!! We returned to Florida a month later and visited this place 4 of our 5 days in town! There’s so much offered here! Waffle cones, waffle bowls, homemade snow cones, sundaes, cheesecake, shakes, cotton candy, banana splits, floats…. I’ve never seen a “snack” shop offer so much!! Cute atmosphere, great prices, amazing service!!!”

Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“This spot holds a special place in my heart! The Dearborn Coffeehouse has the best vibe and atmosphere in town. It's my favorite coffee house on this coast. 💕🏴‍☠️✨ As a local charity founder, I have to emphasize how much I appreciate their commitment to the community. It's businesses like The Dearborn Coffeehouse that support local charity work and help keep our community sound. For coffee, you can't beat their Café Cubano—the best in Englewood! And seriously, treat yourself to their delicious fresh cinnamon rolls and incredible seasonal pastries. A perfect local retreat! 💙”

We love to go on Monday night when George and Drea are bartending and Audio Orchid is playing. The food is great. The drinks are great. We have never left Pop's and said "wish we went somewhere else".”
